PATH (Prevention Awareness and Toxic-free Habits) has been delivering sustainable results since it started in 1990. It has been incorporated in the State of Texas as a 501c3 since 1993, and has been in good standing with the IRS for over twenty years.
PATH's goal is to provide both an awareness and education experience as well as demonstrate much needed prevention / protection, restoration and conservation work within the community that is of tremendous value to White Rock Lake, and its Friends, Partners and Supporters.
PATH's team is made up of individuals who have decades of experience in eco education and sustainable initiatives and has partnered with the Dallas Park and Recreation Department to restore remnants of the rare Blackland native prairie that circle White Rock Lake in Dallas Texas.
